Certifying Thai Docs by Mail

[semperfiguy]

Today I went to the 3rd floor of Central Plaza to get a certified copy of my wife's passport which is needed for official business in the USA. I discovered that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Bangkok now offers a mailing service for the certification of any type of Thai document, either stand alone or with translation of that document. The following website will direct you to download a copy of their legalization request form, and it gives you full instructions on how to EMS the documents to Bangkok. The fee is 400 Baht per document, and a 60 Baht return EMS fee must be paid. Separate money orders must be provided for payment. My wife tells me these can be purchased at the post office. Hope this helps someone else. It sure was a blessing for us.

I was just now able to contact this department by telephone to confirm the instructions for getting a certified copy of Thai documents from the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Bangkok. The number I called was 025 751 055. The other numbers in the instructions didn't seem to be working. The clerk indicated that the fee of 400 Baht is for any document with it's translation attached. Any stand-alone document that doesn't require a translation is only 200 Baht. Only one money order, and not two as indicated earlier, is required to cover all fees including the return EMS.
